But the Rams want to make it clear that their offensive outburst in the 83-49 win was a clear reflection on the dominant play of their line.

“There were just holes to run through all night long,” Scarlett said. “Every single time I got the ball, there was somewhere to go. It was a track meet.”

The Rams (13-0) averaged a whopping 18.3 yards per carry against a defense that was allowing 101.8 rushing yards per game. Scarlett rushed for 356 yards and five touchdowns on 15 carries and Nall ran for 320 yards and four scores on 14 carries.

“They’re both powerful kids, and they’re both equally gifted,” Central Catholic coach Steve Pyne, whose team plays Jesuit in the state final Saturday. “It makes you look like a pretty good coach. But that doesn’t get done without those guys up front.”

The linemen might have a little extra incentive in the playoffs considering that offensive line coach Chris Butterfield -- the assistant head coach who has been with Pyne for the last 15 seasons, including four at Wilson – has said that this will be his final year.

“I told the guys before the game, ‘You guys up front, Coach has been with me for 15 years, we’ve seen the highs and lows of this thing. Do whatever it takes to get him one more game,’” Pyne said. “And I think the offensive line responded.”

Six times Scarlett and Nall ran to the end zone on the first play of a series. Central Catholic scored so quickly, it had the ball for 14:49 compared to Tigard’s 34:19.

“I made the comment to our offensive coordinator during the game, I said, ‘This is like a video game,’” Pyne said. “It’s insane. Our defensive guys were like, ‘Guys, could you just put a drive together?’ I’m like, ‘Sorry.’”
